Chapter 2679 Yuan Zaitian
After a short rest, the two returned to the secret cave. Seeing that the scenery inside had not changed, they began to carefully explore the place.
After crossing the first peak, a continuous range of mountains came into view, with traces of ruins faintly visible in the mountains.
The few remaining survivors were easily killed.
They landed on another hilltop and saw that the top of this hill was flat, obviously leveled by human hands. There were some broken stones and tiles on the top, which should be the remains of a courtyard.
"They've all been destroyed by those demons!"
Qin Sang sighed softly.
The scale of the ruins suggests that this courtyard must have once held a very important position and must have been protected by a powerful mountain-protecting formation.
Now, dust to dust, ashes to ashes, all destroyed by the Heavenly Demon, is a lamentable state of affairs.
The two scanned the ruins with their divine senses but found no useful clues.
They continued their exploration, but unexpectedly, they soon reached the end, and the hidden paradise had been completely reduced to ruins.
“This place is far too cramped,” Lord Luo Luo frowned.
Qin Sang also sensed something was amiss. Based on the scale of those ruins, this hidden realm shouldn't be this small, especially since a flag lord of the Earthly Demon Palace had perished here. If it were just an unimportant secret realm or training ground, the Earthly Demon Palace wouldn't have set up such a complex Imperial Rainbow Demon Restriction here.
"The key probably lies in these Imperial Rainbow Demon Restrictions!"
Qin Sang raised her head and looked up at the black sky.
This secret realm is sealed off by the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction, forming a 'small' cage. It would be making a mountain out of a molehill just to imprison a Six Desires Heavenly Demon.
In addition, the feeling that the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction gave them when they were comprehending it should be much larger and more complex than what they could see with their naked eyes.
The two exchanged a glance and realized that the place they were in might only be a part of the Cave Heaven Secret Realm. The Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction divided the Cave Heaven Secret Realm into multiple spaces, and this was just one of the cells in this Heavenly Demon Prison!
If that's the case, just how many demons of the six desires are trapped here?
Both of them were somewhat alarmed, but further verification was still needed.
For now, the only option is to start with the Imperial Rainbow Demonic Forbidden Zone, so the two of them had no choice but to patiently continue searching for clues within it.
The Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction wouldn't attack them like it would the Six Desires Heavenly Demons, but without a master to guide them, they could only explore on their own. Comprehending the true secrets was by no means easy, and neither of them had many clues.
"Fellow Daoist, look here!"
After some time, Lord Luo Luo finally made a new discovery.
Upon hearing the call, Qin Sang flashed to Luo Luo Demon Lord's side, and with a split of her divine sense, she sensed a wisp of energy that Luo Luo Demon Lord had locked onto, which was constantly moving within the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction.
Qin Sang followed the trail and felt a sense of familiarity, similar to the feeling of the entrance light gate.
Could this be the entrance to another cage?
The two then observed patiently for a while and were basically able to confirm that this was a 'door' leading to another cage.
There's a high chance they're also imprisoning a Six Desires Demon on the other side. The question is, should they continue exploring?
Qin Sang is inclined to continue.
Even without any other gains, slaying a few more Six Desire Demons would greatly benefit his cultivation. Besides here, where else could he imprison the Six Desire Demons and kill them one by one?
Such opportunities are rare and hard to come by, but the hidden dangers cannot be ignored. There may be a demon in the late stage of the Fusion Realm imprisoned here!
Luo Luo Demon Lord hesitated because he knew how terrifying the Heavenly Demon was. You could defeat it a thousand times, but once your defenses were breached, you might be doomed forever!
Previously, they had high hopes for this hidden paradise, but now that they had retreated, Demon Lord Luo Luo was unwilling to give up and ultimately decided to go in.
With the Jade Buddha protecting her, Qin Sang volunteered to lead the way with the Thunder Beast Guards, while Luo Luo Demon Lord brought up the rear.
When they activated that wisp of energy, a void vortex appeared in the dark sky, as if it were a passage to another world.
Qin Sang slipped inside, and the scene before her was exactly as she had expected.
This place remains a desolate wilderness and ruins, still haunted by countless demonic figures roaming the land.
The moment Qin Sang stepped inside, a warning signal arose in her heart. She felt a powerful demonic intent surge towards her—another Six Desires Demon.
"Early stage of fusion!"
Qin Sang breathed a sigh of relief. There was only one Six Desires Demon here, and it was even weaker than the previous one. They could even kill a Demon at the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, so naturally they wouldn't take this one seriously.
Of course, if this celestial demon were to build the Six Desires Demon Palace, that would be a different story.
Luo Luo Demon Lord arrived shortly after, and upon hearing Qin Sang's telepathic message, he was relieved.
In an instant, countless celestial demons stirred, and the torrent of celestial demons merged with the demonic intent of this Six Desires Celestial Demon, forming the Celestial Demonic Realm, which enveloped this world.
Having learned from their previous experience, they calmly opened their domains and looked up at the overwhelming torrent of demons.
Numerous demonic shadows mingled with overwhelming demonic intent, constantly assaulting their minds.
The power of this Heavenly Demon Realm was even weaker, so Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo carefully guarded their minds and slowly cleared away the Heavenly Demons around them.
The twin swords, Sun and Moon, transformed into two streaks of sword light, circling the heavens, annihilating countless demonic shadows beneath them. The Demon Lord Luo Luo unleashed countless dragon-like bolts of lightning, tearing any celestial demons that dared approach to shreds. The Thunder Beast Warriors charged deep into the torrent of celestial demons, their ferocity unmatched!
The Heavenly Demon Realm not only couldn't do anything to them, but was instead thrown into chaos by their attacks. Piercing demonic howls came from all directions. The Six Desires Heavenly Demon hidden in the Realm of Illusion was enraged, but seemed to have no way to deal with them.
At this moment, Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo were able to confirm that this Six Desires Demon had no followers by his side. Since that was the case, the two of them no longer held back!
With a thought, Qin Sang's mind raced, and the sea of stars suddenly expanded outward, instantly covering the black sky.
The dazzling starlight shone down, illuminating the Heavenly Demon Realm.
Countless demons suddenly screamed in agony as transparent sword beams burst forth from their bodies, causing the Demon Realm to tremble violently.
Demon Lord Luo Luo and Thunder Beast Warriors were not to be outdone. Countless green vines burst forth from the earth, and with a single swirling motion, they annihilated countless celestial demons. The Thunder Beast Warriors wielded their thunder spears with sweeping, powerful strikes, their killing intent overwhelming.
With their combined efforts to clear it away, the torrent of heavenly demons became increasingly thin, almost unable to sustain the Heavenly Demon Realm.
The Six Desires Demon finally couldn't hold back any longer.
The sound of gongs resounded around Lord Luoluo. Having learned from their previous experience, Qin Sang and Lord Luoluo responded even more swiftly this time. In an instant, the two Demon-Illuminating Mirrors shone in the sky, reflecting the figure of the Heavenly Demon.
Where the mirror light converged, a demonic figure was projected from the void. Just as it was about to struggle, the twin swords of the sun and moon transformed into a dazzling rainbow and slashed down from the sky!
'puff! '
The demonic shadow shattered into pieces, followed by a series of shrill screams from all around.
"He's not dead!"
Qin Sang's eyes flashed.
This demon must have just used a kind of clone-like supernatural power, with the clone taking the calamity for its main body.
The Demon-Illuminating Mirror failed once again, but Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo were not in a hurry. This celestial demon could not escape its cage, and they were now like turtles in a jar.
Moreover, they did not want to kill this demon; they preferred to capture it alive and find out the origin of the cage.
On the battlefield, one mass of darkness is rapidly devouring another, and the Thunder Beast Guards are doing their utmost to clear away the torrent of Heavenly Demons.
Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo continued their search for the true form of the Six Desires Demon, unleashing their supernatural powers and treasures to annihilate one avatar after another. Even if they couldn't find the demon's true form, they could continuously weaken its power.
Before long, the Thunder Beast Guards put away their guns and returned. The torrent of Heavenly Demons had been cleared away, and only the Six Desires Heavenly Demon remained in the cage!
At the same time, Qin Sang and Luo Luo Demon Lord are also constantly shrinking the space for the Six Desires Heavenly Demons to operate.
Gradually, the Six Desires Demons were driven to the brink of despair and had no choice but to make a desperate last stand.
The demonic howl was piercing, like swords stabbing into the mind. Luo Luo Demon Lord's eyelids twitched, knowing that the Six Desires Heavenly Demon was about to fight desperately.
'Clang! Clang! Clang!'
The Seven Stars Empty Gong collapsed one after another, and at the same time, Qin Sang also felt the invasion of demonic intent.
The Six Desires Demon attacked the two simultaneously, seemingly driven mad and reckless. Unfortunately, the two's mental weaknesses were not so easy to find, and the demon itself exposed its presence.
After another clash of supernatural powers, the battlefield suddenly fell silent.
The two Demon-Illuminating Mirrors stood one above the other, with a distorted demonic shadow in the middle. Qin Sang, Demon Lord Luo Luo, and Thunder Beast Guard surrounded the demonic shadow, ready to capture it in one fell swoop.
Just then, the Six Desires Demon suddenly made a strange "hoho" sound, which sounded like both laughter and a curse.
"not good!"
The Demon Lord Luo Luo gave a soft shout, and a fiery thread shot out from the paper lantern. Before the fiery thread could entangle the demonic shadow, the shadow transformed into a wisp of demonic smoke and vanished abruptly.
"He committed suicide!" Qin Sang said in a deep voice.
Their supernatural powers both missed their target; they hadn't expected the demon to be so fierce, causing their plans to fail.
Its final laughter still echoed in their ears, incredibly eerie, sending chills down their spines and giving them a bad feeling.
The two had no choice but to put away their magical domains and examine the cage.
The landscape was desolate, much like the previous one, and the size of the spaces was also similar. It seemed that this hidden paradise had been divided into several similar spaces.
After a great battle, there was still no gain... No, Qin Sang had a great gain. He originally thought it would be very difficult to find an opponent of this level, but unexpectedly, he had experienced four great battles in a short period of time since arriving from Lei Hai.
"Continue?" asked Demon Lord Luo Luo.
Qin Sang calmed her murderous intent and nodded slowly.
The two continued their search for the portal hidden within the Imperial Rainbow Demon Forbidden Zone, but the memory of the demon's laughter just now cast a shadow over their hearts.
"found it!"
Once again, Demon Lord Luo Luo was the first to discover the clue. By this time, the two had finished resting and immediately jumped into the next cage.
The Six Desires Demon, the Demonic Torrent, the Demonic Illusion...
The encounter in the third cage was almost identical to the previous ones, with only a Six Desires Demon in the early stages of the Fusion Realm. This time, Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo did not intend to persuade it to surrender, but planned to capture the Six Desires Demon before it committed suicide.
After sweeping away the torrent of demons, Qin Sang used the same trick again, deliberately opening her mind and locking her heart with the demon's, instantly locking onto its hiding place. Then, her long-planned attack descended like thunder.
"boom!"
This strike was earth-shattering, producing a thunderous roar.
The Six Desires Demon's strength has been greatly weakened, and it is absolutely unable to withstand this heavy blow. Moreover, the attack is mixed with anti-magic divine power, which can instantly imprison the heavily injured Six Desires Demon.
Unfortunately, the magic-suppressing technique also failed!
The aftershocks formed a storm, and Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo appeared beside the storm, their expressions grim.
Just when they were about to succeed, the Six Desires Demon resolutely committed suicide the moment the attack came down!
As the storm subsided, the surroundings returned to calm.
Having slain two demons in quick succession, and witnessing the Heavenly Demon's bizarre behavior, the two needed to stop and think things through. Although they had found the entrance to the fourth cage, they hesitated to enter.
Luo Luo Demon Lord frowned, paced back and forth a few steps, and looked at Qin Sang beside him.
Qin Sang was sitting cross-legged, appearing even more composed than him.
"Fellow Daoist seems to have gained quite a bit?"
Luo Luo Demon Lord noticed the subtle changes in Qin Sang and was somewhat surprised.
Over countless years, demonic cultivators have created numerous techniques and supernatural abilities that allow them to cultivate using celestial demons. Even before the demonic tide entered the realm, some cultivators observed the demonic paths of celestial demons and created all sorts of bizarre demonic supernatural abilities, contributing to the rise of the demonic path.
The supernatural powers cultivated through demon-slaying are undoubtedly among the best.
If one borrows or even absorbs the power of the Heavenly Demon, one might end up like the Earthly Demon Palace. It should be understood that cultivators must not only guard against the Heavenly Demon, but also against their own inner demons. If demonic intent goes out of control and inner demons arise, it is possible for a demonic entity to be reborn within the body.
Luo Luo Demon Lord was worried that Qin Sang was cultivating the latter and was too eager to succeed. If something went wrong, it would implicate him.
Qin Sang opened his eyes and said, "There are some things in my sect's inheritance that I have cultivated for many years, but I have never been able to grasp their true meaning. Thinking about the reason, it should be that I lacked opportunities for training before. This time, however, I have turned misfortune into blessing, encountering powerful enemies one after another, which has actually helped me to integrate these things..."
This was the excuse he had prepared long ago.
Seeing that Qin Sang was not absorbing the demonic intent of the Heavenly Demon for cultivation, Demon Lord Luo Luo was somewhat relieved.
"Does Fellow Daoist think there is any need to continue?" Luo Luo Demon Lord asked this question, indicating that he had already begun to consider retiring.
Three fierce battles in succession yielded nothing, confirming that this place was a prison for demons. It's likely the entire hidden realm has been reduced to ruins; continuing to explore would not yield what they seek, only wasting energy.
Qin Sang naturally didn't want to leave so soon. After some discussion, Demon Lord Luo Luo was persuaded by Qin Sang, and the two opened the next entrance and entered the fourth cage.
When they stepped into the fourth cell, they finally discovered some clues!
Piercing through layers of demonic shadows, Demon Lord Luo Luo saw a broken stele. The stele was severely damaged, and the inscription on it read "Yuan Zai".
"This is Yuan Zaitian!" Luo Luo Demon Lord exclaimed in surprise.
Legend has it that when the Earthly Demon Palace was at its peak, it controlled nine of the strongest cave heavens, known as the Nine Heavens of Demons. At that time, they were divided among the four lineages of the Earthly Demon Palace, with the strongest lineage, Emperor Tianzi, controlling three of them. Yuanzai Heaven was one of those three cave heavens!
Undoubtedly, the Nine Heavens Demon Realm was the core of the Earthly Demon Palace, but now Yuanzaitian has become a ruin and has been reduced to a demon prison that imprisons the demons.
